Cecil really did sign a coaching contract with the team, but just for that one game of course. How cool will that be for the college players to work with him. For the fans, he will sign postgame autographs after the game.

Fielder has become one of the most beloved former Detroit Tigers. He is a three-time All-Star, two time Silver Slugger award winner, and led the American League in RBI's for three straight seasons (1990-92).

Just another day at the office!

The Growlers always put on theme nights to have fun for the fans and this sort of blows it out of the park. Tickets for Cecil Fielder Night are going to so be in demand. They say the best way to secure tickets is through the Meijer 5-Game Miniplan (flex tickets to Cecil Fielder Night).
